Answer:

B) black

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. De Bono's decision making technique assigns a hat color to each participant, and the participant's role is determined by the color of the hat. Then participants exchange hats in order to be able to consider another and possible arguments in favor or against a proposal.

  1. White hat ⇒ just the facts please.
  2. Yellow hat ⇒ explore the positives and probe for value and benefit.
  3. Black hat ⇒ the devil's advocate or why things will not work.
  4. Red hat ⇒ express emotions and share feelings.
  5. Green hat ⇒ focuses on the possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas.
  6. Blue hat ⇒ manages and controls the process.
